The well was drilled by Dawsey Operating to a total measured depth of 8,500ft, of which over 5,100ft was vertical depth into the Buda formation, directly below the Eagle Ford shale.
The well was whipstocked at the top of the Austin Chalk formation, found directly above the Eagle Ford formation, and drilled with an 800ft curve into the Eagle Ford shale.
Drilling continued horizontally such that the well bore was extended 3,300ft through the Eagle Ford formation.
A shot point sleeve from Baker Hughes was installed to protect the well bore and facilitate a multi stage frac.
The well was logged extensively and 36 sidewall cores were taken from four key formations in descending order, the San Miguel, the Austin Chalk, the Eagle Ford and the Buda.
The logs are being interpreted by Weatherford International and the sidewall cores have been sent for analysis by Core Laboratories and Weatherford.
